해석/해설 Laura Bush stands up for her man and his legacy. The First Lady says George W. Bush will not be remembered for a failed presidency. “So I don’t really feel like I need to respond to people that view it that way, and I think history will judge and we’ll . . . we’ll see later.” She was on Fox News Sunday, saying her husband stood firm on Iraq partly because he didn’t want Americans to think their loved ones had died in vain. “He didn’t want us to lose. He didn’t want us to give up on Iraq.” Mrs. Bush also points to the legacy of her husband’s social work against HIV and AIDS in Africa. “Over two million people in Sub-Saharan Africa are on anti-retrovirals because of his policy of, uh, uh, trying to save people from disease as well as from tyranny.” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice took a similar view on CBS. She says generations pretty soon are going to start to thank this president for what he’s done. She says the Bush administration has reformed foreign governments. |
